THE new season kicks off on Friday with Watford vs Middesbrough in the Championship and it's good to have proper football back.
It's always tough to call opening weekend fixtures but even more so under the current circumstances.
I'll be doing the bare minimum for the next few weeks until we see some form and trends. And of course we need to see the effect no supporters have on teams and players.
The Watford game is tough to call and new boss Vladimir Ivic is in charge after joining from Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Neil Warnock had a good finish to the season at Boro and is of course vastly experienced in this division.
I'm hoping for an entertaining game and a score draw is a possibly but I'm not betting on it.
Kevin Mac has posted predictions and a match preview for Watford vs Middlesbrough so check it out.
On Thursday my Lens draw no bet Super Single landed at 27-10 as they beat a weakened PSG 1-0. Well done to all who profited on that game.
Next up in France is Bordeaux vs Lyon and the visitors will be weakened by the expected sale of Memphis Depay to Barcelona. In Depay's absence Moussa Dembele should start up front and he is 13-8 with Betfred to score.
Lyon look a little short at evens with Betfred considering they'll be minus their star man and this could be another game where both score.
Elsewhere there are Eerste League and Austrian lower-league games that are a favourite for many goals fans so plenty to look at.
Well done to all the winners on Thursday and good luck over the first weekend of the new English season.
My anteposts have been picked out and will be posted later.
Super Single
- Dembele (Lyon to score, 8pm)
- (13-8, Betfred)

Is the Line Of The Week coming back Paul?? Noticed it wasn’t there on Saturday
I’m actually still off work so only contributing to writing some of the column rather producing the whole 2 pages.
So keeping things as simple as possible for the guys helping me out.
I’m due to return to work in about 5 weeks so after the Scottish leagues start I’ll bring back Line of the Week and other contests.
Treble up at just under 9/1 in Brazil, plenty cornersbas expected but think the red cards helped the gls along. Avai v Ponte Preta tonight at 23.15 KO but can’t find corner markets anywhere. Free fivers on wi PP on Volcanic Sky in 13.40 11/2 & Salah & Rodrigo 1 shot on target each half 22/1. PP must’ve clicked on to free fivers being used on anything as only use them on same game/race
Morning
Today I have 2 goods bets
I know for sure that Lyon will strike at least 1 goals
I have a hints about Bordeaux to strike the same, at least 1 goals
Bordeaux – Lyon Btts its very very good in my opinion
Second match is from Sweden, my preferred champuo shop this dyas
Dalkurd – Umea 1 Dalkurd win is very good
From those 2 I will chose the Main Bet today and I go with sewden matxh
Main bet today
DALKURD – UMEA DALKURD WIN
Very safety variant which I personally bet today with probability of 99,99%
Lyon over 0,5 match goals
Dalkurd DNB
Normally bet varianr with probability of 90%
Boedeaux – Lyon BTTS
Dalkurd win

Early shout for Sunday. Lacking in ideas and lacking in players, PSG are back in action at home to Marseilles. 7/2 still available for the away side and just better than 7/5 for a goal start. I can’t see them not scoring or at least drawing on last night’s evidence. Get on fast though, price sure to drop.
” Lost in France ” No joy with my corners, and a PSG booking short . Both bets LOSERS
Well done all winners .
One team who’s had goals galore in their first few eerste divise games is excelsior, scores 10 and conceded 7 in their first two games, tonight I’m backing more of the same:
BTTS and over 3.5mgs @ 6/5 NAP
BTTS and over 4.5mgs @ 5/2
BTTS 1st half @ 9/4 NB
BTTS and over 5.5mgs @ 9/2 – longshot
Not sure if its been flagged up on here yet but Paddy Power are giving away two £5 free bets on their promotional banner
Sadly can only bet on the actual free bet events whereas before when they gave their promotional free bets you could bet on anything
Unless I’m missing something
Cambuur > 1.5 TGS, NEC > 2.5 MGS 9/10 – half stake

Cheers chris
Grrr missed it… Thanks
Thanks Chris
Good spot , jumped on immediately
Popping up my anteposts for a couple sports. All on bet365. Been away for a few months but mostly been on anteposts lately anyways.
Football: Gunners with another trophy last season as we keep extending that record FA Cup haul. We just don’t lose FA Cup finals do we. Community Shield doesnt mean much but already got a trophy in the bag this season with the win over Liverpool. We’ve shored up our defense & just hoping we land a good DM. Otherwise very happy with the look of our squad & Arteta working his magic already. Reckon City will win the Premiership this year with Liverpool & Chelsea battling it out for 2nd. Arteta needs time & resources but we shouldn’t be too far off a top 4 spot.
Anteposts for this year: Some odds have changed slightly since I placed these but nothing major. Brighton over 42 points (2.37). Arsenal over 65 Points (2.62). Liverpool under 85 Points (evens). Arsenal to finish above Spuds – Going large on this! (1.9). Sheff Utd to finish above Leeds (2.37). Wolves Top Midlands Club (1.9). Vardy 15 or fewer goals (2.87). Auba top goalscorer (6.50). Chris Wood top Burnley Goalscorer (1.9). Sterling top Man City goalscorer (2.87). Ajax & Real Madrid to win their leagues (2.69). Juve to win Serie A (1.9). Also on under 21.5 goals this weekend in the Premier League (1.90).
Rugby: Tasman to win the Mitre Cup Premiership (2.75). Pretty confident on this! They won it last year & they’ve got a star-studded team this year.
UFC: These are fights a couple weeks/months down the line. Santos, Gane, Blaydes (2.32). Adesanya/Chimaev (1.92). Will take Chimaev by KO/Submission when the lines come out. This kid’s a beast! Also Covington by decision when the line comes out. Gaethje to beat Khabib (3.25). Will give a write-up before the fight but had Tony to beat Khabib before their fights got called off as I think he had the style to beat Khabib. Posted reasoning on here way back when….Similar thinking here & I reckon Gaethje can cause an upset.
NFL: Chiefs to win the AFC (3.60). Bills to win their division: AFC East (2.15). Saints to win the NFC South (1.90). Chase Young to win the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year (3.40). Nick Chubb most regular season rushing yards (9.00). Prescott most regular season passing yards (8.00).
Enjoy and here’s to a cracking year of sport!

Nothing major for me tonight, LASK have been good to me over the past 18 months and I’ll be keeping an eye on them again this year for goals. Looked good for the title last year until they were heavily punished I’m hoping they can show it wasn’t a 1 off. First game of the season so it’s not one to go mad on with stakes but I’ve picked out a betbuilder that would’ve landed plenty of times last year.
LASK win
A goal in both halves
LASK 6+ corners
5/2 paddy power
I know not everyone has a paddy account (I’m new to them myself) so Alternatively on a bet 365 betbuilder
Lask win
Lask 2+ tgs
Over 8.5 match corners

Cruz Azul Women v Tigres de la UANL Women
Today at 22:00 Mexican Women’s Liga MX.
Btts EVENS NAP (hills).
Tigres seen Btts and over 2.5 in last 8 games (7 of these seen Btts and over 3.5) and are heavy favourites to win.
In Their last 4 aways they have won with Btts at teams lower than Cruz azul in the standings.
Tigres scored 2 or more in last 10 games.
Cruz azul scored in 10 of last 13 homes.
Basically this bet is about Cruz azul scoring.
Other possibilities
Tigres Btts and win.
Tigres 2+ team goals.
Btts and over 2.5, 3.5
Half way there Elvis. Nice and early!
First time I’ve seen the new bet 365 interface. What a shambles. Heads should roll. Thankfully it’s not updated on my iPad yet.
It’s worse on the iPad Sean. No longer works in landscape mode.
It’s absolutely dreadful Sean,The app is so full of bugs I can’t even message them to say how crap it is,orvto withdraw for that matter 😡😡.
Granted it wasn’t perfect but it was one of if not the best to use. Why mess about with it?
One team who’s had goals galore in their first few eerste divise games is excelsior, scores 10 and conceded 7 in their first two games, tonight I’m backing more of the same:

BTTS and over 4.5mgs @ 5/2 ❌
BTTS 1st half @ 9/4 NB ✅
BTTS and over 5.5mgs @ 9/2 – longshot ❌
Excelsior proving good for goals again, finished 3-1 winners, full house looked in at half time with the score 1-2 at the break. Good team to keep an eye on for goals though 👍
Well done if you followed

ANY BELGUIMS HERE ?.
If so can you tell me why waasland beveren are 5-4 to score at Bruges 7-45 -ko ???? And beveren 25-1 to win.
Ok Bruges should win but these odds suggest beveren are playing with 9 men from the start.
Beveren scored in 7 of last 8 here.
9 of last 11 h2h seen Btts.
This season beveren seen Btts and overs in all 4 games.
Bruges lost their 2 home games 1-0 and kept 1 clean sheet in 4 games.
If no one has reasons for this price beveren to score 5-4 (at sky bet) will be my NAP.
just remembered I’m off out in a bit so placed bet on this.
Beveren to score at Bruges 5-4 (NAP)
